Pronunciation: [bˈakwəd kˈʌɹənt] (IPA) 
The term "backward current" refers to a flow of electrical current that seems to be moving in the opposite direction compared to its usual flow. There are several synonyms for this term, including reverse current, retrograde current, and backflow current. These terms are often used interchangeably in the field of electrical engineering and are used to describe electrical circuits that exhibit this type of behavior. Engineers commonly encounter backward currents in DC power supplies and other electronic circuitry, which can cause problems such as reduced performance and overheating. To combat these issues, engineers employ various techniques to prevent and correct backward currents in circuits.
